How is the actual number relevant? 4000 and 40000 are both a grant bunch of stalls.
But they're not the same, so at least one of them cannot be accurate. At the very least, it's a copy error by a scribe, but that still means current biblical canon cannot be considered infallible, which is a big deal if you come from a tradition that demands you accept infallibility as a core doctrine.
